Identification
Element label
Orifice assembly marking
for TE 5 – TE 55
The thermostatic element is fitted with a label (on
top of the diaphragm).
The label holds information like valve type,
evaporating temperature range, MOP point,
refrigerant, max. working pressure PS / MWP and
production date.
Production place and date (BE1315B) mean:
BE = Wuqing, China
13 = Week
15 = Year 2015
B = Tuesday
Orifice assembly for TE 5 – TE 55
The orifice assembly is marked on top of the
spring cup, e.g. as shown in the figure.
TE 12 = For valve type
06 = Orifice no.
067B2709 = Orifice code no. for sales order

Capillary tube tag for TE 5 – TE 55
The label gives the orifice size (06). A new label
always accompanies a new orifice assembly.

Max. temperature
Bulb, when valve is assembled:100 °C / 210 °F.
Complete valve when not assembled: 70 °C / 160 °F.
Min. temperature: -60 °C / -75 °F.
SS = static superheat
OS = opening superheat
SH = SS + OS = total superheat
Qnom = rated capacity
Qmax = maximum capacity
SS can be adjusted with setting spindle.
The standard factory SS setting is 4 K / 7.2 °F.
The OS is 4 K / 7.2 °F from when opening begins to
where the valve reaches its rated capacity Qnom.
OS is determined by the design and cannot be
changed.
Superheat Example
Static superheat SS = 4 K / 7.2 °F
Opening superheat OS = 4 K / 7.2 °F
Total superheat SH = 4 + 4 = 8 K
SH = 7.2 + 7.2 = 14.4 °F
Using orifice with range B element, please check
superheat under running conditions and
readjust SS setting, if necessary.
Max. test pressure: 32 bar / 465 psig.
Maximum working pressure: 28 bar / 400 psig.

TE 55
Design / Function General
TE 5 – TE 55 valves have an interchangeable
orifice assembly.
TE 5 – TE 55 valves are built up of three main
components (Parts program):
1. Thermostatic element
2. Orifice assembly
3. Valve body with connections
The orifice is refrigerant and range independend.
All valves are equipped with external pressure
equalization.
To ensure long operating life, the valve cone and
seat are made of a special alloy with particularly
good wear properties.
TE 5
1. Thermostatic element.
2. Interchangeable orifice assembly.
3. Valve body.
4. Superheat setting spindle.
5. External pressure equalizing
connection with 1⁄4 in / 6 mm flare nut
(solder is available on TE 5).
TE 12 / TE 20
1. Thermostatic
element
2. Orifice assembly
3. Valve body with
connections
